New Quit - I need your help

Coach...wanted to bump your intro up to page 1 so you can review

Thank you, took a long look at it yesterday and this morning. Wasn't a good moment. Also put it on my desktop and phone along with my promise note.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement, still going strong. Had good moments and bad moments all day, amazing to think how this is the best I have felt in years and also the worst.

Quit EDD - I'll wake up and 1st thing I'll do is post in roll just like I did today, couldn't do it without you guys, this board is a god send.

Keep it up, I'm there if you need me.

Coach,
Damn glad to be quit with you! Your story is like so many on here but just know that you're never alone here, we all have your back. First thing is to find your groupo and go post roll. Never look ahead and never look back, quit for the day...for the moment even. Everytime you resist the urge to dip you win another small battle and before you know it you will be winning the war. Do whatever you need to do to stay quit...gum/seeds/ fake chew/ whatever it takes. What did it for me was blow pops and pistachios and a little smokey mtn every now and then. You CAN quit. Its 95% mental and 5% everything else.

Get as many digits as you can and don't be afraid to use them. PM for mine and we WILL beat this thing together! I also read this site ALOT for the first few months and anytime you even remotely think about dipping text or call me and we will get through it....also anytime you may get a bad craving go and google pictures of mouth cancer an if that don't scare your ass back on track real quick then I'm not sure what will. Be strong, stay strong and QUIT ON!

Bill D.

Hi All,

I am addicted to chewing tobacco. I have been dipping consistently for 12 years, and will be turning 33 years old this December. As of last night at 9:45pm CST, I have had my last dip. I have certainly said that before, tried that before, but this will be the last time I utter those words.

I believe last night I finally had my breaking point, a moment of clarity if you will that put my addiction into perspective and hopefully ended the habit for the rest of my long glorious life. I did not consistently use smokeless tobacco until I was 20 years old as a college athlete, and already having an addictive personality I haven't left the house without a can until last night. On top of things I am part of a profession and now in a part of the country where chewing is ubiquitous, running away from my addiction was near impossible in my eyes as I downed at least a can a day on a good day, two on a bad day, seven days a week.

For the last couple years I have had health problems with migraines, throat and digestive issues with each and every doctor claiming I had a clean bill of health. In the back of my mind I was just counting down the days before my tumor was discovered as I am sure all of you have raced through your mind awaiting results you would rather not receive. Through all the tests, scopes, and scans little was found and little has changed, the problems persist. My Grandfather passed away from colon cancer, my Mother is a survivor of breast cancer since 2011, and now my Father just had his second chemotherapy implant (layman's term) for terminal liver cancer this afternoon back in California.

While talking to my family last night, after knowing about the terminal diagnosis since the end of May, I finally broke down. Cried like a baby while sitting in my office late at night, fully understanding the depth of my Father's situation and the inevitable road I was traveling down. This was my moment of clarity, the thought of putting that poison in my mouth thoroughly disgusts me at the current time but know full well that tomorrow it may be less revolting.

I am in this for the long haul, armed with countless packs of chewing gum and bottles of water, but I know I need your help, desperately. As I sit here roughly 26 hours nicotine free I just hope I have the same strength tomorrow and hope I may help one of you make the decision to quit.

Even though I do not know you, or will ever meet you, I truly love you and thank you, keep up the good fight.

Best,

Coach G

Coach G let's kick this Boc bitch together. Sounds like you are in a solid place right now with the quit. But shoot me a PM and I will give you my # for the times that urge has its grasp on you. You are part of the nov quit group! Go post roll everyday and stay quit!

Also drink a shit ton of water cut the caffeine intake and steer clear of the booze for a bit. It wil get better - day 19 here feeling pretty good!
